[wellylug] Asus Eee PC 701

[Lindsay Hunter]

I have been looking for a workable solar supply for the 701.  My son 
works in the field, top of PNG amongst other places, and a portable with 
its own longer term supply would be worth a try.  And secondly, it needs 
to be able to connect to a vehicle 12v supply.  I agree it somewhat 
negates the portability, but it extends its usefulness away from 
conventional electricity supplies.
